Climate change, resulting
in more frost - free days and warmer seasonal air temperatures, can contribute to shifts
in flowering time and pollen initiation from allergenic plant species, and increased CO2 by itself can elevate production of plant - based allergens.137, 15,16,17,18,19,138 Higher pollen concentrations and longer pollen seasons can increase
allergic sensitizations and asthma episodes, 20,21,155,22 and diminish productive work and school days.138, 22,23

in the composition of the intestinal microbiota induced by environmental factors (e.g., antibiotics, diet, vaccination, sanitation) play a central role
in the regulation of
allergic sensitization (5 ⇓ — 7).
